More About Life In The City.
Says a man: “Although I really enjoy my work, there is nothing better in life than
going home and being with my family” --
translation: there is nothing better than change:
being home with the family all the time would be unbearable,
as would be twenty four hours a day at the job.
 
 

How Man’s Collective Mind Is Forced To Publicly Function.
An author who interviewed all of the infamous tyrants of the last half century,
when asked what most surprised him in his meetings with the notorious butchers,
says the fact that not one of them thought they had done anything wrong,
and thus none offered any apology;
the educated, sophisticated writer (as representative of man’s collective civilized mind) expresses shock, bewilderment, nay --  disbelief
over this quite predictable state of affairs.
 
 

How Sex And All Other Essential Activities Can Be Allegories For
All The Pastimes Men’s Minds Conjure Up.
After extracting all of the funds and personal accolades possible from his flock,
the city shaman showed them the door with these words:
“The seduction of one is the seduction of us all,”
and when one guy muttered that he didn’t get it, his neighbor explained:
    “We got laid,
      but didn’t get paid.”

And someone asks: “Are such stories intended to rattle readers,
and give them the blues?” --  contraire:
the properly receptive mind will find such observations as presented here
neither positive nor negative;
neither encouraging nor discouraging;
neither supportive nor critical, but informative and useful –
as are all expressions of the human mind ABOUT the human mind;
when you hear any cultural matter discussed,
and do not discern that what is really being spoken of is thought,
you miss receiving the always available and valuable, closed-captioned translation.

Talk: what you do until you can act.
Dream: what you do until you can awaken.
Exist: what you do until you can live  --  free from the inner sound of dreams.
 
 

Something Almost As Exemplary Of Human Consciousness As The Cell Phone.
That in documentaries, voice-over translations of foreign speakers are done in English, but with a feigned accent of the original tongue;
this is much more indicative of what goes on right above your nose constantly
than any of man’s specially constructed spiritual-rituals
with a professed metaphorical message.
 
 

The speaker said:
“A man without a clock is never late,” and someone responded “May be,
but a man who lives in the city and doesn’t have a clock
will be the kind of man who has no where to go anyway.”

The speaker said:
“A man with no clock is never late,” and someone responded:
“But he can seem to be to those who do have one,” and the speaker replied:
“Yes, but I’m not really talking about time, now am I.”
 

Some Useful Facts.
Being grumpy will cause you to stare;
staring encourages grumpiness;
staring will make you feel hostile and critical,
and being critical will cause you to feel grumpy, and make you stare
(the usefulness of the facts is in there somewhere).

No one likes to be run in circles  --  that’s why things are arranged in men’s mind
to make them mostly oblivious to its occurrence,
and someone objects: “But you cannot change your own genetic temperament!” --
but you can replace the crossing guard that came with your school
(you know: the one linking hormones and neurons).

Little can be of more value remembered than the fact that a dictator can allow
free elections, and citizens vote for whomever they please --
as long as he is in control of the ballot counting;
that situation is all that makes the certain man’s nervous system quest operational.

Liberated consciousness notes: "It is constructively impossible to talk about man without being critical of man  --  which is why I command the big bucks!"
 
 

In the hands of thought: sex becomes romance;
eating becomes dining;
refuge becomes residency,
the essential acts of hormones are converted to the recreations of the city.

Without thought  --  no confinement;
without thought  --  no escape;
without thought  --  no nightmares;
without thought  --  no way to awaken from the dreams.
And the mind muses: “I remain at a loss to understand why I am so traduced  --
what could be fairer than that just noted?!”
